My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2171: Chapter 2139: The Clever Konggu Venerable

Innate Gods and Demons are very powerful. In the Chaotic Era, even the newly born Innate Gods and Demons, inheriting the cosmic luck of the Starry Universe, can easily crush some Heavenly Level beings now.

It’s important to note that this is just at the time of their birth.

And the Divine Skills they are naturally endowed with are even more formidable.

The Endless Sea of Blood, after countless years of perfection by the Blood Saint, has become terrifying to the extreme.

For those without strong burst abilities, unable to instantly shatter the Endless Sea of Blood, this divine skill is almost without a solution.

Perhaps, for five strong members of the Mechanical Race, with the current strength of Li Chen’s alter ego unleashing the Endless Sea of Blood, as long as they unitedly launch their strongest strike, they might be able to destroy the Endless Sea of Blood instantly.

However, they did not do so.

Out of caution, Number One chose to first test with a Planet-Destroying Weapon.

Then, they each used energy to probe a few more times.

As they tested, opportunities gradually slipped away, leading to their inevitable downfall.

"Bang!"

Li Chen’s alter ego fell from the sky, sitting paralyzed in the Formation, unable to move for a long time.

This was the aftermath of his entire energy being drained.

The Endless Sea of Blood is extremely powerful, terrifyingly so.

But the consumption for the user is also terribly severe.

Like Locking Heaven and Earth, Li Chen’s main body, far surpassing the same level, with Yuan Force even comparable to a Daoist Lord, could only use it two or three times at most.

But the Endless Sea of Blood seems even more horrifying than Locking Heaven and Earth.

Li Chen’s alter ego, without being able to fully unleash the maximum power of this divine skill, was already drained dry by it.

"Fortunately, the objective has been achieved." Li Chen smiled bitterly.

Originally, he had prepared some backup plans, but now, these backups would be unnecessary, or even if he wanted to use them, in his alter ego’s current weakened state, he wouldn’t be able to at all.

And on the other side of the Great Formation, Konggu Venerable, upon witnessing this scene, also widened his eyes in shock, almost making his eyeballs pop out.

"What... what is this?!"

He didn’t recognize the Blood Sea as a divine skill, and seeing several strong Mechanical Race members trapped in it, instinctively felt a sense of fear, immediately retreating to the corner of the Formation, avoiding any contact with such obviously dangerous phenomena.

At the same time, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Relieved that he hadn’t targeted Li Chen from the start, aside from the initial unfriendly interaction, he had been quite satisfied with his own later behavior.

Otherwise, offending such an infinitely resourceful, and fearsomely powerful Heavenly Pill Grandmaster, never mind the Sea Edge Realm, even if he were to leave, life wouldn’t be easy for him.

Such a terrifying being surely has a large group of even more terrifying followers, at least, that’s how it seemed to him.

"Luckily... luckily my nature is honest and pure, and I did not become this being’s enemy but maintained a friendly relationship." After confirming he was not in danger, Konggu Venerable started plotting in his heart.

"In the end, although it was a transaction, didn’t I also help him quite a bit? If I requested to follow him, I wonder if he would refuse..." Konggu Venerable quickly pondered.

As an Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, he was a being respected everywhere.

For someone of such rank to choose to follow another, it would be hard to believe. Moreover, generally, at this level of cultivation, there are strong feelings of dignity.

Typically, powerful beings of such rank wouldn’t easily express a desire to follow others.

But Konggu Venerable seemed to be an exception.

Of course, in his eyes, Li Chen was also an exception.

Such power, and being able to refine something like the Purging Disaster Pill, which is almost the Supreme Divine Medicine for cultivators, absolutely makes him a worthy person to follow.

Not just him, but if it were other Venerables, they might also be tempted.

"Out in the world, having such a reliable patron isn’t bad at all. Moreover, when I first arrived, I heard battles were raging at the Borderlands, and all these years have passed, I have no idea what the situation is now." Konggu Venerable muttered in his heart.

Seeing the five’s aura growing weaker and weaker, Konggu Venerable’s heart grew more and more tempted.

Previously, he hadn’t seen through the full strength of these five, as he had noticed their powers seemed somewhat different from those of Martial Artists, making it difficult to assess precisely.

But in those brief encounters earlier, he realized these five were absolutely stronger than him.

Moreover, each of them was stronger than him!

Not to mention the Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate, they weren’t far off.

Yet even combining their attacks, these five still ended up in such a dire situation; what fault is there for Konggu Venerable to follow someone like this?

"Nothing wrong at all, old friend!" Konggu Venerable slapped his thigh, firmly deciding.

...

At this moment, the five’s aura had grown increasingly weak, and they could feel the energy within them continuously diminishing.

Their resistance against the Blood Sea was also growing weaker.

Conversely, the Blood Sea was growing stronger.

Initially, the Blood Sea was often battered full of holes, but later on, the level of damage to the Blood Sea became smaller and smaller.

By now, it was hard for their attacks to breach the Blood Sea anymore.

"It seems, the remnants of our era have come to an end." Number One looked at the others.

The others also looked at Number One, with faces showing an oddly human-like bitter smile.

In the next moment, the Blood Sea swept over them, completely engulfing the five.

"Boom boom boom..."

Li Chen halted the Formation.

At this moment, Konggu Venerable also saw Li Chen again, and having made up his mind, he eagerly rushed over.

"Secular Taoist Friend, you’re truly formidable. How easily you dealt with those potent beings just now. May I ask what methods you used?" Konggu Venerable said warmly.

Li Chen glanced at Konggu Venerable without speaking.

Seeing Li Chen’s response, Konggu Venerable rubbed his nose. Right, those were his methods, how could they be easily divulged?

At that moment, Konggu Venerable also noticed something seemed off about Li Chen’s expression and hurriedly aided him up, thinking that this was appropriate.

If such powerful beings were so easily handled without any personal expense, that would be the truly terrifying thing.

"Hmm, not quite right."

Konggu Venerable suddenly realized, this seemed to be only an alter ego of Li Chen, so does that mean he actually incurred no consumption at all?

No consumption at all, yet so easily dealt with five beings likely equivalent to a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate?

My heavens, this person is terrifying.

Lucky I am astute, shrewd, and brave!

Konggu Venerable’s heart was full of pride.
